Areas of Practice

Capable workers’ compensation representation for Californians injured on the job

Concentrating on the following practice areas, we provide effective counsel to workers in San Francisco and throughout Santa Clara and San Mateo counties:

Workers’ compensation — In California, workers’ compensation benefits cover medical care, temporary disability, permanent disability, and job training if you can’t return to the same type of work. Other benefits may also be available, such as death benefits for surviving dependents.

Industrial injuries — When employees sustain industrial injuries caused by defective equipment or poor factory design, they may be able to sue the manufacturer or designer in addition to filing a workers’ comp claim.

Construction site accidents — Construction areas are dangerous places where serious and fatal injuries can occur from falls, being struck by falling objects, electrocution, getting caught in or between machinery, and other types of construction site accidents. Injured construction workers may be entitled to compensation.

Personal injury — When non-employers contribute to workplace accidents, injured workers may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against negligent third parties to seek damages beyond what traditional workers’ comp covers.

Workplace accidents can be devastating to employees and their families. Let us set your mind at ease as we seek the full amount of compensation you are be entitled to receive.
